On this episode I sat down with Ra of Earth (@raofearth), a student and teacher of human technology.

If you haven’t heard of him yet, he’s the guy that made butt sunning go viral on Instagram. Ra drinks his urine too, takes regular ice baths, rides a unicycle, and doesn’t work out but stays miraculously shredded.

He’s definitely got one of the most eccentric styles of any yogi I’ve seen, but this isn’t the whole reason I sat down with him. In fact, we didn’t even talk about any of this stuff. Instead we dove straight into the world of parallel universes, inter dimensional travel, ancient wisdom traditions, and philosophic ideas like perception vs reality, facing our death with acceptance, the power of relationships, and the future of social media and technology. We even talked about community building and entrepreneurship.

This was by far one of the deepest episodes I’ve recorded so far. To be honest, Ra was spitting so many wisdom bombs I was left speechless most of the time. It’s crazy to think just a few years back Ra was running multiple CrossFit gyms and competing on a regular basis. He went through a radical life transformation, decided to double down in his passions and return to his roots, and now he’s on a mission sharing his understanding and experiences with the world. All with the purpose of optimizing our human technology.

If there’s one thing to take away from this episode though, it’s not to confuse the teachings with the teacher. While ras got an unconventional approach, and some click baity techniques, at the end of the day he’s one down to earth guy with an honest and humble respect and curiosity for the ways of the world.

Ra is the Creator of @kriyaoftheweek - short, 15-25 minute Kriyas programmed for a daily practice, mean to bring energetic and physical effects on our human technology.

Show notes:

Ra is a professional networker marketer with the Holistic Justice League, which is teaching people how to be leaders and build a community
He likes taking people out of the employee mindset into the entrepreneurship mindset, which Ra started acquiring when he was young when he started his gyms
People will quit their gym membership but they won’t quit their friends, so from a business standpoint Ra was providing not just a gym but a community where people ‘could pursue their dreams’
As a boss, as a community leader, if we can facilitate diads and triads of people that like each other we can gain market advantage over our competition for people’s attention
Humanology is the main subject of Ra’s life
As a leader it’s important to understand people’s personality types and recognizing their behavioral patterns in order to pair them up with teammates correctly – it’s all sociology
The Holistic Justice League attracts teachers and leaders who are successful but not happy in their careers. A lot of talk about meditation, and consciousness, and the New Earth…
Ascension – going from one reality to another and this can happen without dying
New Earth – when somebody is vibrating so high they enter into another physical earth, that is ‘less dense’ than the earth most of us live in
The Mayan Calendar and the year 2012 initiated a new transitionary stage in human existence, and we have a choice of what world we want to operate in
Science tries to observe the shift with tools, but this is impossible given the tools shift with the shift of the times as well – this is where ancient sciences and occult wisdom like the Mayan Calendar come into use
Perception vs. reality and the difference/similarities between them
The ability to perceive is a state of being that has different depths per person – the deeper our perception of reality the more dimensions we can flip through as we’re perceiving reality
Linear time doesn’t exist and that’s an illusion we’re experiencing
All of our potential futures exist now… all experiences are happening but we’re observing this one
How Ra lives: If science wants to find the answers to questions, Ra wants to see as many answers as possible and integrate them all together
Wealth is important to overall well being, but depending on your aspirations it might not always require a lot of green pieces of paper
It’s important to harmonize your self to the reality of your choosing, which is exactly where you are, and then from that launch pad deciding where you want to go, what you want to make, because we can do everything
You personally create everything in your existence
Ra thinks everything is true except for the statement that ‘something shouldn’t be’, because everything that’s happening now is happening perfectly as it should
Our inability to accept the reality that we created is the reason for anxiety
The five elements – fire, water, earth, air, ether make up the plants and animals. Animals have awareness, but humans have self-awareness, being aware of our little selves in the matrix of reality
Technology is helping us develop systems which symbolize what we as humans are one day going to be naturally able to do without technology – some people already have these abilities of connection… but one day we will have humans on this planet that are all self aware and aware of the all
If we take the story of technology out of it, we are telecommuting already, through the World Wide Web
We should look at everything in terms of how it’s serving us, what does it mean for our physical existence… let’s not shy away from physical damage and death
The importance of getting into uncomfortable situations to evolve
Whether or not Jesus existed and died on the cross doesn’t matter, but what matters is how you’re able to integrate the story, and his calmness in the situation into your own life to reduce anxiety
Internal Locus of Control – whatever Ra does is not based on what others will think of him but instead on what he wants
Ra hasn’t really watched TV since he was 17, because he sees it’s a waste of time… everybody’s being entertained but what if that entertainment was actually your life?
Don’t mistake the teachings for the knowledge of the teacher
His intention is supporting the facilitation of people living their dream creations, and Ra uses a level of entertainment in order to do that…
Ra’s seen UFO saucers just cruising 200 ft above him in Downtown LA, as well as orbs of light ‘ripping through reality’
DisclosureFest in LA calls Ufos to come visit the event
Ra says we’re all extraterrestrials
We talk about theories that there are aliens inhabiting the moon, as well as alien beings inhabiting honeycomb structures under the earth’s crust
Ra says he doesn’t need to know the answers to it all, but simply because we can consider it, what knowledge and lessons can we integrate into our existence
Ra isn’t into and doesn’t do psychedelics – although the important part of psychedelics which shamans stress is the ability to use the experience to shift your way of being here on this earth
Everything thoughts with a thought and an intention, so if you want something it’s important to set the intention, be disciplined, and not be attached to having the thing right now
How Ra created his gym in DTLA – working with a Kundalini teacher, but then he had a realization that he didn’t know who he was without the muscles and all the fitness he’d built over the years, so he started experimenting
2 weeks ago when Ra went to Hawaii he started having feelings in his heart he’s never felt before, he started feeling more connection with his mom and to a girl he’s been seeing on and off for the last 8 years
With a partner you can be a stronger remote control for harmonizing with different realities… you DNA is aligning and becoming a singular unit
If we’re going to bond as a complete species, we might need to learn how to do it with one person first
What connection means for Ra – two partners aligning to meet the same intention and realizing their realities have the same connection
The more connected we are, the more our psychology and psychology and realities and relationships are all aligned, there’s getting closer to a zero point where there is no difference and we can start using the power of all
There are multiple dimensions of connection but ultimately it’s the moment before the ‘big bang’, if that even did exist
Kriya of the week – it’s a membership program where each week there is a practice (kriya) that strengthens the nervous system and energetic system, and allowing us to stretch into and operate our full spectrum of our physical body, which then helps us tap into our non-physical realities, so that we can have experiences that are as full as our physical instruments can handle, which will help us integrate the technology from the cosmos
